Snooty Fox(Bar)

Snooty Fox Review

Situated just outside Canonbury rail station, the Snooty Fox reminded me of a number of French bars I've visited, albeit in the middle of Islington. The venue itself is snug without being small, and decked out in a mixture of big leather couches and recycled furniture. The couches are directed towards an open fire. The bar is done in dark wood and brown, whilst film posters in French adorn the walls.

Obviously trying to gather as wider clientele as possible, the Snooty Fox also contains a big-screen telly (whilst we were there this was being used to show classic black and white westerns - quite a cool concept), a number of smaller TVs, and a DJ booth. The advertising out front offers Jazz on Sunday, and live DJs throughout the week. I can honestly say I haven't got a clue how they get a dance floor in there when the resident DJ is playing.

The atmosphere is relaxing and unassuming; when I visited on a Friday night, the bar was far from heaving, with pretty much everyone in a seat.

On the not-so-bright-side, however, as the evening progressed and the bar got busier, the one guy behind the bar started to become well in-demand, and service time started to slip. Although I didn't try the cocktail menu which was advertised on every table, I can imagine a couple of cocktails would've brought service to a stand-still.

“Absolutely horrendous. Went for drink and some food and was shocked by how bad this place was. Initially ok with very chatty and nice barmaid but then ordered food, waited for over an hour and then asked another waitress if everything was ok. She was incredibly rude, said she would bring it whenever it was ready and that was it. Food then totally burnt, sent back and told same waitess. She turned out to be manager (!!!!), made no apology and continued with her horrific attitude. I am still in shock at how this person can make a living out of this. Do not go to this bar.”

“On a Sunday afternoon there is nothing better than relaxing in this fine establishment. Read the paper, watch the footy and eat something really tasty from the lunch menu. Great 'ambiance' and great name too!”

“very disappointing low-key bar with no real atmosphere - also the beer was really terrible and together with a bad-tempered landlord made for a very dire evening”

Loved

"I found Majingos again... I used to go here when it was based at South Quay in Canary Wharf and has now relocated to Limehouse E14 in case anyone doesn't know. It was good in the old days and I am pleased..."

Hated

"Very bad experience. Booked a table, before paying making sure that the table will not be moved at some point to make space. Looks like the woman taking bookings called Candice will promise you anything..."
